Layout
Mario falls in a hole, and is spotlighted. Going to the right, crossing two Morty Moles, Mario will find a Monty Mole. Ahead, Mario will enter in a maze with different paths, leading to items. The below path takes him to a place with more Morty Moles. Going up, Mario can break Brick Blocks and, going down, touch a Checkpoint Flag. In front of it, a hole with many coins is seen. When Mario falls on this hollow, he goes to a wet place with three Monty Moles, a rectangular ? Block and a shallow pond with wooden pipes and a Warp Pipe guarded by a Rocky Wrench. This pipe leads to a room with a + Clock, many coins and an item. After the pond, Mario must go in a narrow hollow with five Monty Moles and five Morty Moles. He will reach on a room with five Warp Pipes, four of them lead to another one. The second one takes the plumber to an outdoors area with a Morty Mole and the Goal Pole.
Star Medals
- Star Medal 1: Shortly after entering the level, the player will encounter a Monty Mole. After defeating or avoiding the Monty Mole, the player should jump around trying to hit an invisible block, which will serve as a platform to reach the first medal.
- Star Medal 2: The player should encounter another Monty Mole shortly after the first medal. After avoiding or defeating the Monty Mole, the player then must wall jump to reach a small opening where the Star Medal lies.
- Star Medal 3: After passing the checkpoint, the player should fall down the hole. They should then come across three Morty Moles walking along a path. After defeating or avoiding the Morty Moles, the player should roll under another small opening, coming upon yet another Morty Mole. Dropping down will make the player land on a small ledge, where the third medal lies beyond the small opening.

Trivia
- World 5-4 could possibly be based on Valley of Bowser 1 from Super Mario World, as both levels are maze-like caverns that are also heavily populated with Monty Mole species.
- This is the only level in Super Mario 3D Land to feature all three Monty Mole species who appear in the game.
- This is also the only level in the game to feature Monty Moles themselves, though Monty Moles also make cameos in a few of the cutscenes.
- In volume 46 of Super Mario-kun, there is a Monty Mole themed festival called the Mogura Matsuri that could possibly be based on or take place in World 5-4, though whether or not it does remains unconfirmed.
